They just marked us. It’s to keep count, CM said we can ride again after this ride.

 

[RomCom]

These wait times for the Falcon are giving me life. My kids really want to do it but I know that a 90 minute wait just would be impossible for them (or at least send me to an early grave). What I've been seeing this morning is totally doable.

Falcon is 20 mins wait now and 1 hour till the next group comes into SWGE........

Having 2 groups overlapping for 1 hour might affect the wait times for falcon we have seen for the first morning slot.. lets see..

 

[rteetz]

They’ve just marked our bands. Perhaps it comes in 90 minutes before the next reservation slot at 11?

It seems they started marking after the initial rush.

I wonder if this comes into play when you are reaching the end of your reservation. If they would be willing to let you get in line later for the Falcon if you haven't ridden it yet.

Savi’s has just closed for our reservation period. The cantina closed about 45 mins ago.

So for those who have ridden Smuggler's Run, have you had any interactions yet in other parts of SWGE that have referenced how well you did?

Not yet. But the rest of the interaction with the CM’s has been fantastic. We spoke to one CM for ages and he was so in character.

They’ve let a good amount of people in. It’s not empty but nothing is packed. There is more then enough space to walk and enjoy the area. Pathways are wide. It’s all just amazing.

That’s my one gripe, I don’t think the reservations should have overlapped. We have another hour and 40 minutes but can’t do two of the major experiences. Still so pleased I was here before the reservations ended to be honest. DL/Disney could not have handled this better.

Yeah I went back and forth on what time I wanted. Both 8am-12pm and 11-3pm were on the board when I got in so I am glad I went with the earlier since only sharing 25% of your time slot vs 50% of your time slot is a lot better. The downside is of course giving up those short wait times when the park first opens but they'll always be there whereas we might not see GE this manageable for years. I was planning on skipping Savis and the Cantina anyways so I wonder if we will even need the full 4 hours.

 

[dozeman]

What was the procedure? Did they just scan your reservation and check your ID .

 

[RomCom]

The wait time for the Falcon is only 5 minutes, what!?! Are they not letting people ride again? Any intel other than my app being broke.

 

[twodogs]

Can anyone confirm you can ride the Falcon more than once in a reservation period? One poster said yes and one said no.

 

[rteetz]

Falcon at 5 minutes!

 

[ardanxela]

Yes, from what I've read. One person had issues when his barcode was scanned, it pulled up the reservation for another day. He had to get out of line and they entered his reservation manually but his reservation did not show, only his reservation for tomorrow came up. He had created two email accounts to get the reservations. They let him in but now he's concerned about tomorrow.

I have seen several who have done multiple.

Ok, so looks like I will plan to go to Droid depot first, then wait for the ride line to go down. Maybe even try food.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Wow. These reports are kind of making me wish that galaxy's edge will always have reservation slots.

 

[Tink1987]

Really confusing with the Falcon and the wristbands being marked. We have just seen it is a 5 min wait so went over and asked if we could ride again. The CM let us on but only because our bands had been marked from earlier?! We can’t work it?

 

[midnight star]

For those there and almost done, is it hard to do everything in 4 hours?

 

[Tink1987]

It is a 5 minute wait. We’ve just walked on. We were told we can get in queue until 10:55 so until 5 mins before the next reservation period.

 

[Tink1987]

It depends what you want to do. We have had blue milk, lots of pictures, wondered around for about an hour, had something to eat, bought merchandise and rode the Falcon twice. But that means we haven’t had time to do Cantina and Savi’s. Or Droid depot. You need to choose what is important to you.

We were within the first 700 people in and the cantina had closed straight away. It opened again and closed within 5 minutes. It closed for our reservation period before 10am.
